"Negative Return" always strikes me as "Well, that's that then!"

Wish we had more views than from the fuel tank, mind [miserable git]

I watched it while listening to the rocket lift-off music from Tetris, made it much more entertaining.

Nice call, but you needed to make it "more entertaining?" - I pity your woman :D :wink:

Get this guys - this is the first shuttle launch in AGES (well apart from the last when the weather was so bad that we couldn't see anything) where we can actually see the ISS and the shuttle both before and after docking, with the naked eye.

PM me if you need further details.
